Best known for his many theater masterpieces; William Shakespeare
was also a prolific poet. It seems likely that an outbreak of the
plague in London, which led to a closure of public gathering places
like theaters, forced Shakespeare to find another means of earning
wages. In the third Earl of Southampton, Henry Wriothesley he found
a patron that allowed him to stay in London and write the brief
epics Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece, which would become
his most widely printed works during his lifetime. His collection
of 154 Sonnets was published in 1609. Mostly about love, they are
an intriguing and fascinating work both individually and as a
whole. At the time poetry was more respected than works for the
theater and with these poems he did much to build his reputation.
Enjoy the richness of language and depth of feeling in this edition
of Shakespeare's Sonnets and other Poems.
